Come to the cozy kitchen... this place is a chef's dream, with every
modern appliance, including a fully-stocked refrigerator, and over in
the corner there's a fireplace with a couple of comfy rocking chairs
nearby. So come on in, whip up a delectable treat and share it with
your friends!

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ee cummings

I've been around on and off since 1997...I found this
place while I was pregnant with my son who is going
to be 19. I remember it was so hard to keep up with
the puzzles - they often got solved while I was at
work!! Now, I come in to see only a handful of posts
over a few months time :(

I guess we were here at the same time then, I found it in 1998 and was active for 4-5 years before work schedule changes caused me to taper off. Remember all the gatherings we had back then? Quite fun. The falloff of interaction is sad, though I can't say my own attendance wasn't the same.

AIM is still active, Kirsten. I had no idea! I wonder if my old profiles there or at ICQ are still alive - or if I'd remember my logins if they are?

yeha, I dropped off a little after the boy was born
in 98, got separated and later divorced from my
ex and was rarely able to get back online until
2000 when i moved back to IL from MN. then it
was mainly on and a little off. I missed the
gathering times but not not by much I don't think.
I did get to meet some MN'rs in our own road trip
meetups. :)

Funny you mention AIM. I just logged in for the
first time in years and years and was able to see
some people out there (not active, it brought
back memories) :)
